Alternative 6: Downstream Intake
Alternative
Although this alternative did not pass alternative cost screening
criteria, Reclamation studied this alternative due to public interest.
Untreated water would be stored in Pueblo Reservoir, released from
the dam, and then diverted from the Arkansas River downstream of
Fountain Creek, conveyed to and stored in a new reservoir, treated,
and distributed to the Participants’ customers. Colorado Springs’
return flows would be stored in a new reservoir on Williams Creek
prior to exchange down Fountain Creek. Pueblo West would not participate
in SDS if this alternative was chosen.
